throwsOnUse

static final Embedder throwsOnUse

An instance of this which throws IllegalStateException if attempted used

Method Details

asMap

default Map<String,Embedder> asMap()

Returns this embedder instance as a map with the default embedder name

asMap

default Map<String,Embedder> asMap(String name)

Returns this embedder instance as a map with the given name

embed

List<Integer> embed(String text,
 Embedder.Context context)

Converts text into a list of token id's (a vector embedding)

Parameters:

text - the text to embed

context - the context which may influence an embedder's behavior

Returns:

the text embedded as a list of token ids

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the language is not supported by this embedder

decode

default String decode(List<Integer> tokens,
 Embedder.Context context)

Converts the list of token id's into a text. The opposite operation of embed.

Parameters:

tokens - the list of tokens to decode to a string

context - the context which specifies the language used to select a model

Returns:

the string formed by decoding the tokens back to their string repreesentation

embed

com.yahoo.tensor.Tensor embed(String text,
 Embedder.Context context,
 com.yahoo.tensor.TensorType tensorType)

Converts text into tokens in a tensor. The information contained in the embedding may depend on the tensor type.

Parameters:

text - the text to embed

context - the context which may influence an embedder's behavior

tensorType - the type of the tensor to be returned

Returns:

the tensor embedding of the text, as the specified tensor type

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the language or tensor type is not supported by this embedder
